What came first, the privy or the tree root?

They missed the bottles under the roots.
One time we got into a dug one and pulled a pontiled umbrella ink a red iron un embossed green med and a soda they missed under a big root. Ya never know whats hiding.

"Rootabegas" are commonplace in pits around here. All grew long after the pit was used and penetrated into the rich soil. I keep a root saw with me and hack 'em out of the way.

I wasn't prepared to saw a root that large, I'm going to add a bow saw to my digging tools.

what is the cobalt blue piece

 

[lexdigger]

Yes, a cordless sawzall will do the trick. I love my power tools... just make sure your batteries are all charged up before a dig.

I keep a generator in the back of my truck. Gotta have a rotor hammer to drill through concrete for probing and a sawzall for removing other metal and wood obstacles.
If the concrete deck is large we just drill holes around the perimeter of a pit that's found and pop a hole with breaker bars or double jacks. I do have 18V tools but the batts always seem to go bad wen you need 'em the most. A good pair of ratcheting bolt cutters comes in handy for eliminating pesky chains and locks, too. Mostly I just cut out a link and add my own lock.
